"Our go-to order at the Hackney fried chicken joint (from the people behind Dumpling Shack) is the hot Sichuan sandwich. Everything works in exquisite harmony: the soft potato bun; the crunchy, juicy, hot chicken thigh; sweet and spicy mala-spiked honey sauce; and tangy pickles and slaw. The surprise hit side to accompany the sando? Not the bag of crinkle fries, but a tub of garlicky, blistered green beans. FYI like most chicken shops, Sichuan Fry’s handful of stools and bouncing soundtrack is set up for a grab-and-go situation. " - Jake Oliver, Daisy Meager, Sinead Cranna
